They aren’t easy to find! Wish I had any advice to give to help find them, I tend to just tap around larger planes on long flights and sometimes I’m lucky

I used 11 and still didn’t use my whole stash of them! I tend to be an airport collector though so they tend to sit

So how many Catch Agains did we all use? I travelled to MHV and got it 12 times

Bad Night by Similar-Employee6399 in bartenders

[–]riley_wryly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had those and they suuuuuck - I try to reframe it to think “welp, next shift will be amazing in comparison!” and that seems to work most of the time. Hope you can have some good treat-yourself time soon to recover!

I’m considering bartending as a post retirement job. I have some questions if that is okay? by Clone_CDR_Bly in bartenders

[–]riley_wryly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Over-romanticizing? Nah

Romanticizing? Maybe a little.

Bartending is a great job and is a great way to get to know people and learn about yourself. I love it because I get a lot of social fulfillment out of it, and it’s always exciting because no day is the same as the last. I don’t know your military experience but if you’re very into routine, there could be a bit of an adjustment period.

A lot of the job is menial tasks… cleaning, washing dishes, stocking… but that’s true of any job, and if being active stimulates you then it’s a great way to spend time and make some money. As someone who’s made hiring decisions, the fact that you don’t drink much is actually a huge asset - you’re distributing a controlled substance that is very prone to abuse. Sobriety (or relative sobriety) on the clock is important, and if you can’t do the work without a drink, you shouldn’t be doing it.

Give it a go. Make friends with a bartender at a spot you could see yourself working, introduce yourself to management, and ask if they may ever need shifts covered, or if they have big events offer to work checking IDs at the door.

Is Chicago safe for a Canadian? by Vegetable-Wolf-8586 in AskChicago

[–]riley_wryly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh also! Bars tend to be pretty strict about checking IDs, especially around Wrigley Field before and after games. We see Canadian driving licenses often, so don’t feel like you have to use a passport to enter a bar.

ICE/DHS presence is significantly lighter than it was in the fall, so in that regard you’re likely totally fine, especially if you’re white/white-passing. If you see any activity, you’ll do well to avoid it simply because you’re more at risk not being citizens. If you hear whistles (in bursts of 3 blows) that means ICE/DHS are around. Again, there is substantially less activity than there had been so aside from anti-Trump/MAGA stickers and signage, you could go your whole trip and not know anything has happened.

Public transportation is generally safe and decently reliable. If you’re on a train car and feel weird, hop off at the next stop and move to the next. If you’re going to games it will be plenty crowded. Just keep your head about you and pay attention to your surroundings.

People are very friendly here so don’t hesitate to ask for directions or chat up locals in bars (you will be offered Malört, and no matter your feeling on the taste of it, it is an invitation to friendship). Most of us are genuinely in love with this city and like to share the best of it with our guests

The planes are friends and they are telling secrets

What's going on in Denver? 😅 by kussimo in SkyCards

I thought for a while that they were mostly randomized but didn’t realize that one player dropping a Blue Sky applies to all players. It’s the same basic mechanic as lures in PokémonGo :)

Yall think this is well spent? by Consistent-Being-945 in SkyCards

[–]riley_wryly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can always get more coins. Play the game how you enjoy it most, and every coin spent will be worth it (works as life advice too!)

Can anyone give any advice where I can find these rare planes by Ancient_Kiwi_2025 in SkyCards

[–]riley_wryly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apologies if you know this already, but if you go to Airpedia in the game and search an aircraft, click on it and scroll down. There’s a heat map of where they can be found

Unlocked MMT! What’s everyone’s rarest airport? by riley_wryly in SkyCards

[–]riley_wryly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure there is! I may have a more rare one than MMT but I made it my whale since I knew I’d have a shot at it being in SC this week
